About
You’ll like this if you want an action-heavy, witty Sherlock Holmes adventure with a formidable nemesis and lots of tension; Not for you if you prefer a more traditional, detective-first Holmes tone like Numb3rs or CSI: NY.
Pros: thrilling sequel energy; strong adversary; entertaining adventure pace | Cons: Holmes-Watson hostility; out-of-place jokes; pacing issues
